Pakistan Visa & Travel Requirements

Everything you need to know about preparing for your adventure in the Karakoram and beyond.

Passport and Visa Overview

All foreign nationals require a valid visa to enter Pakistan, along with a **passport that must remain valid for at least six months** beyond the intended duration of stay. Pakistan has introduced an online visa system to facilitate convenient applications for various visa categories.

For tourism, you have three primary application options:

  • Online Tourist Visa
  • Apply by Post or by visiting your nearest Pakistan embassy/consulate
